Bradley says “After I beat Devon, he’ll [Khan] have nowhere to hide”
August 18th, 2010
By Dan Ambrose: WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (26-0, 11 KO’s) will be looking to take IBF/WBC Devon Alexander’s titles when/if they meet up in January 2011. Bradley really wants that fight and will be looking to take Alexander’s titles and move up as one of the biggest stars in boxing. After that fight, Bradley really wants to go after WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan, who Bradley has been chasing after for some time now without success.
Bradley may have to do some long waiting for a fight against Khan, because it’s very likely that Khan will be facing the lightweight Marquez in December, and there’s always other alternatives for Khan to fight among the top 15 that the WBA currently has ranked in the light welterweight division. Provided that Khan isn’t forced by the WBA to fight World Boxing Association light welterweight interim champion Marcos Maidana any time soon, then Khan can always fight top contenders like Kaiser Mabuza, Victor Ortiz, Juan Urango, Victor Manuel Cayo, Zab Judah, Lamont Peterson, Julio Diaz, Kendall Holt or Michael Alvarado. Out of that bunch, I can see Khan facing Urango or maybe Alvarado and waste some more time rather than stepping up and facing Bradley.
Besides Khan and Alexander, Bradley is also interested in fighting Zab Judah, saying “Zab knows my number. He can get it to. He looked good in his last fight, which was against a guy who was okay, but he won’t be able to do that against a real fighter. But he can bring it; he can some see me.” Judah would be tough for Bradley due to Judah’s big power and excellent hand speed.

Bradley will KO Khan, no question about it.
bradley cant sell a ticket.
I am NO khan hater at all ,i just have not seen him prove himself yet and many others think exactly the same. Say he will clean the division all you like ill believe it when i see it and that will be when he gets in and defeats a credible opponant not the likes of NO Punch Pauli Mallinagi.
ok ok people!! Fair enough, I think Bradley, Alexandor fight will show us how over-rated they both are specially bradley. Khan is getting better and improving very fast although in his last match against paulie, Khan was slacking in my opinion or maybe my expectation was high. Khan should have knocked paulie out cleanly “KO” but TKO is fine too. However people are understimating Khan’s power and we all know Khan is the fastest in 140 division by miles. So Khan vs Bradley I strongly believe Khan will really embarrase, school Bradley and on top of that Khan will knock him out silly. Like I said in my previous comment Khan vs Bradley is a mismatch becuase Khan has to many advantages. I will respect Bradley if he beats Devon.
For all the Khan haters, educate yourselfs and be real becuase Khan is comming to clean 140 division period!!
Hiding? Khan said he would fight Maidana, Bradley or Alexander (who lost to Kotelnik in my opinion) after he beat Malignaggi. Why should he concern himself with Bradley, who is chasing Alexander, when he has a possible fight with Marquez who is the biggest name out their in the division. Will be really interesting to see if Khan’s chin can hold up against Marquez.
KHAN WILL GO NO WHERE NEAR WHOEVER WINS THAT FIGHT, HE WILL THROW THOSE NAMES AROUND, BUT HE WILL NEVER FIGHT ANYONE WHO HAS THE SLIGHTEST PUNCHING ABILITY.
Im a Khan fan, i want this fight, i want Khan to be in with Bradley, Alexander and Maidana. As a Khan fan its damn hard to defend him because i agreee with what the Khan haters say about his choice of opponants.
The only way i differ is that despite the lack of power in Malinaggi, Salita and Kotelnik they are all respected boxers and for beating them all so easlily i think Khan deserves respect, even though it shouldnt be forgotten none of them can punch.
I also think that Khan himself, and Roach both want these names but the spineless money hungry powers that be would rather string us all along putting him in safer fights.
I think Marquez is a seasoned and respected boxer and this fight is no joke, but Khan has all the advantages and Marquez can be kept at distance most the night, a safe distance.
I dont like this fight, i want to see the WBA champion mixing it with the other big names of the same division, not a division below. But im also sayin Marquez is no sunday bum.
Bradley has fought nobody.
Right now Maidana’s win over Victor Ortiz is the most impressive recent performance at 140, followed by Amir Khan’s shutout victory over Pauli Malinaggi, followed by Alexander’s wins over Urango and kotelnik were good fights against top fighters.
Meanwhile Bradley seemed to be out matched by Nate Campbell, and has fought nobody that could be compared to a top fighter. Thus far the greatest name under Bradley’s belt would one of the known journeymen Witter or Holt. One can only assume that Bradley has achieved his higher ranking from Ring Magazine because of his promoter.
Bradley will handle Alexander!!! No one gives Bradley a hard time about Nate Campbell, why??? Bradley has fought top guys at 140… Witter, Holt, Peterson, Cherry… Who has Khan fought? Non punching much smaller Pauile! Please Khan will get out classed by Bradley! I hope Bradley gets a crack at Khan next!!! Khan is all talk… After Bradley beat Abregu, Khan was like I want Bradley next…. Bradley said let’s do it!!! Khan said I changed my mind and I want the much smaller and older Marquez… Bradley will have a 4 belts in 2011!!!
One of these 140 ish fighters will prevail as the best.Which one do you think.?I am not sure who is the best of these three.
lol the irony is khan is about 20 times more talented than bradley..this is a joke!!!
wots manny got to do wi it mannys on drugs and wont take a drugs test
LOL!!! Khan better keep hiding cause “desert storm” gone fight him and destroy him!!!
@brianmaciver. What about manny? He holds the ring magazine. So he’s the best.
bradley is the best light welter out there he will hammer alexander and khan if khan will fight him hes like haye with the klitchkos
@TheQuietStorm.. Well said
Bradley can’t talk he faced a blown up 37 year old lightweight Nate Campbell and did anyone criticize him for that?
Many people must know,khan too,that Marquez is the pfp number(3)
Khan thinks that it’ll be easier to beat Marquez.Marquez hits hard,Khan has no chance to beat Marquez.
1. Khan. 2. Ortiz. 3. Bradley. 4. Alexander. 5. Kotelnik.
Who says Bradley gets past Alexander? I think ole Timmy might lose that fight.
bradley is the best at 140 cant take nothing from him he like the old school fighter
Bradly wont see Khan because Marquez is going to give Khan the boxing lesson of his life.
they will not put khan in with bradley, he is a cash cow they can use for a little soon as he is in there with someone with power. its over. ala hatton.
